I think they are the wrong size, just pay them to swap them onto your wheels.

Depending on the year you may also have to pull a stud and replace it with a bolt. I have a 2000 XJ, my truck had three bolts and one stud on the crossmember.

Thanks guys, just got the 30s on this morning. They are tight, but don't rub! I think they look great, what do you all think for a lift? (Max-3")

I've used Rusty's and RC. I like Rusty's coils better. The RC coils seem stiffer to me. IMHO if your using stock lower arms stiffer coils will add to the death wobble.

How do you measure actual lift height? Just installed Rustys 6.5 inch lift and want to measure to see if it is what it is... thanks. Oh and I'm an on a set of nokian 31s

Center of the wheel to bottom of the flare is 17" at stock height. You should have that plus 6.5".

I have 3" and 33's. it flexes quite a bit you can look at my uwharrie pics. I put on daystar extended bumpstops upfront and extended leaf spring plates in the back. Trimmed too
